  • Alberta Brines to Battery-Grade Lithium: 2024 Demonstration Program

    E3 Lithium (E3) is proposing to produce battery grade Lithium Carbonate (LC) from locally sourced brine in Alberta, using a direct lithium extraction (DLE) process. The DLE process involves the deployment of sorbent materials that selectively capture lithium-ions from the brine while excluding other ions. E3 also plans to incorporate water recycling to create a
